New preprint! We mapped out how ‘diffuse’ predictions affect neural representations. We show predictions reshape the geometric layout of the neural representations by compressing the representational spread and stabilize the neural code by reducing the neural variance during memory encoding.

Furthermore, retrieving only a single feature of audiovisual objects incurs behavioral costs relative to retrieving the entire object, consistent with the hypothesized cost of 'breaking up' a bound representation in working memory.
Check out our new preprint, which presents object-based retrieval processes in multisensory working memory. Here we show that unimodal feature probes incidentally reactivate untested tones and orientations of audiovisual objects. +
